MOISTURE!!!!!

We had moisture as of early this morning! Anyway we did have about an inch of snow on the ground when I got up. Of course within a few hours it was gone. And the wind is still blowing, although it isn't blowing the sand with it today that has been the normal all week. Sometimes I feel like we have gone back in time to the dust bowl days of the 1920's and 1930's. (At least that is when I think the dust bowls were so bad in the west and mid west United States.) It is caused by all the construction to build houses on top of having an extream drough in our state of New Mexico and surrounding areas.
That bit of snow promted the dogs and horses to get out in it and romp and play, causing every one to have a coat full of muddy dirt. But they had fun. Me, on the other hand, did not have fun. I was out in the snow, and wind, and cold, feeding horses, and refilling water buckets after dumping out the awfull mix of water and dirt that was in them. Hopefully there will be a day or so before the sand gets to blowing again. Better yet the wind will go away. Or if it has to blow - it could bring in some more rain and snow.
